I use to have it set at 3:30, but turned it back to 2:45 a month ago to see if I experience any changes in cruising and acceleration. Still runs strong through the RPM range, even above 4000 with the changes. No pinging and heat has not increased from before.

I started seeing more of the golden color on the header. The color never moved back past the collector portion in my previous settings, but now it's all the way past the splitter, both going back to where the right side muffler slides in and about 6"s or so on the cross under for the left side.

Not often do I run over 4000, so I'm not sure if my change to the red pot is causing this or it's normal for the header to keep turning color that far back. I did alot of highway crusing @ 70-80 mph since my change....

Thoughts?

70-80 mph is still way below the 70% or 4,000 rpm that I understand the red pot to activate. I have enough wire on my TFI that I can put it on the point of the seat and tank, so the pot lights are visible when riding. I havn't seen the red light to come on until rev's get up there. I can't say just where, because it's not really that easy/safe to keep watching. Also, my yellow light is not constantly on, but comes on with a little more than slight acceleration.
What was your mpg when you had the original settings?
